The Snow Goose is without any doubt the best prog album, nay, suite of music ever made. I've just listened to it in the car and it moves me every time; I could never get tired of it.

The crap that people spawn about it being "too soft" or "not energetic enough" show that they simply haven't a clue that it's a musical interpretation of a short story, a tender love story set in 1940. It interprets the characters and storyline brilliantly without any lyrics; in that sense it's even better than Peter and the Wolf, which does the same but nowhere near as well. Hardness and energy would simply not be in keeping with the story.

I like ITLOGAP very much - by far Caravan's best album and almost rates 5* for me - but it's nowhere near as good as the emotional tour de force that Camel created.

for this particular album , the land is far better than the snow , but as a band , Camel are much appreciated than Caravan but not by far ! However , Camel discography in 38 years contain at least 5 albums better than the Land !

I used to like both bands equally but now i find Camel to be too gentle and predictable. On another hand, i find that the Caravan "trilogy"
(If i could, In the land, Waterlolily) stands the test of time.
But Caravan did some too-gentle stuff after as well.
